Registration for BBEANS5 is now
CLOSED. The bracket is filled.RULES - READ THESE FIRST before entering!
First, make sure to read
the General Rules (CLICK HERE).
I've made a few more slight revisions for this tournament in the free restart rules. I'm still not satisfied with the way I've been handling immobility and free restarts, so instead of using an overly complex set of objective parameters to determine when a bot is "able", I'm doing it more subjectively this time. In a nutshell, if I think a bot is still mobile when it is counted out, it gets a free restart. If I think it's really immobile, then it doesn't.
Tournament FormatThe weight class used will be Heavyweight.
The game mode will be Stock. Don't even think about that other game. Yes, the one that starts with a D and ends with an L and has an S in the middle. I don't even want to type it for fear that someone will just skim the rules and see it and enter a D... ahem, a non-stock bot.
Matches in BBEANS5 will consist of three 2-minute fights, best two out of three (or three out of three) wins.
The bracket will be double elimination. (Sorry ACAMS, but that's the way I've run every other BBEANS so far and I want to be consistent for the AI packs. After #6 I'll dabble in other formats.)
The matches will be fought in the
BBEANS Tournament Arena V2.
There are 32 entry slots. That sounds like a lot, but there were a few late entries that were left out in BBEANS4, so don't wait too long!
Rules and the arena are subject to change before the start of the tournament. This will depend on how many really laggy bots I get (in which case I may make the first two rounds of the tournament 1 fight instead of 3) and I may also do some adjusting of the flipper power based on several statements that they are too powerful.
PrizesThe prizes for BBEANS5 are the same as for #4. The Champion will receive the Champion's Sword plus one prize component of their choice. The runner-up, the rumble winner, and each winner of the bonus awards will also receive one prize component of their choice.
The Champion's Sword:
The prize components:
Number one, the Stacked Supervolt.
Number two, the BBEANS Blade.
Number three, the Nifty Battery/Control.
Number four, the BBEANS Hammer.
AND...
Introducing number five, the Armored Magmotor!
With the next BBEANS scheduled to be DSL LW, I imagine this prize is going to be quite popular. It's just like a regular Magmotor, but it will be a lot safer outside your chassis. For reference, the regular Magmotors have the default motor HP, which I think is less than 1000.
